<HR ALIGN="CENTER"> <A NAME="Old-Age"></A>OLD-AGE RESERVE ACCOUNT
<p></P>
<P>Section 201. (a) There is hereby created an account in the Treasury of
the United States to be known as the Old-Age Reserve Account hereinafter
in this title called the Account. There is hereby authorized to be appropriated
to the Account for each fiscal year, beginning with the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1937, an amount sufficient as an annual premium to provide for
the payments required under this title, such amount to be determined on
a reserve basis in accordance with accepted actuarial principles, and
based upon such tables of mortality as the Secretary of the Treasury shall
from time to time adopt, and upon an interest rate of 3 per centum per
annum compounded annually. The Secretary of the Treasury shall submit
annually to the Bureau of the Budget an estimate of the appropriations
to be made to the Account.<BR>
(b) It shall be the duty of the Secretary of the Treasury to invest such
portion of the amounts credited to the Account as is not, in his judgment,
required to meet current withdrawals. Such investment may be made only
in interest-bearing obligations of the United States or in obligations
guaranteed as to both principal and interest by the United States. For
such purpose such obligations may be acquired <BR>
(1) on original issue at par, or <BR>
(2) by purchase of outstanding obligations at the market price. The purposes
for which obligations of the United States may be issued under the Second
Liberty Bond Act, as amended, are hereby extended to authorize the issuance
at par of special obligations exclusively to the Account. Such special
obligations shall bear interest at the rate of 3 per centum per annum.
Obligations other than such special obligations may be acquired for the
Account only on such terms as to provide an investment yield of not less
than 3 per centum per annum. <BR>
(c) Any obligations acquired by the Account (except special obligations
issued exclusively to the Account) may be sold at the market price, and
such special obligations may be redeemed at par plus accrued interest.
<BR>
(d) The interest on, and the proceeds from the sale or redemption of,
any obligations held in the Account shall be credited to and form a part
of the Account.<BR>
(e) All amounts credited to the Account shall be available for making
payments required under this title.<BR>
(f) The Secretary of the Treasury shall include in his annual report the
actuarial status of the Account.</P>
<P><A NAME="Old-Benefit"></A>OLD-AGE BENEFIT PAYMENTS</P>
<P>SEC. 202. (a) Every qualified individual (as defined in section 210)
shall be entitled to receive, with respect to the period beginning on
the date he attains the age of sixty-five, or on January 1, 1942, whichever
is the later, and ending on the date of his death, an old-age benefit

measurable, then upon his death there shall be repaid to the United States
by his estate the amount, if any, by which such total amount paid to him
during his life exceeds whichever of the following is the greater: (1)
